    No way. Maybe if everything collapsed. But what if they make the playoffs every year and then lose sometime in the playoffs? Management gets them there but then it's gotta happen and it's not easy. No guarantees. Almost impossible for Theo to be fired. He's made so many insanely good moves it's ridiculous. Has to be the boldest rebuild maybe ever.

    I believe it would make Steve Spiel an oracle right? Or do we still give it to McFly?

    Didn't you also have the Pirates beating the Cubs, then the Cards beating the Cubs?

    Cubs fans, do you think it will be an easier path to the World Series through the Dodgers or Mets?

    I've got to believe you want to play the Dodgers.

    I honestly have no idea who the Cubs would rather see. I think Cubs/Mets better for the game but they probably have a better chance to advance vs LAD.

    The series starts on Saturday which means the Dodgers won't even be able to set their rotation.

    The Mets would have Thor and Harvey ready to roll.

    Its a shame the AL won't have a big market to send to the WS

    NYY or Red Sox Vs. Cubbies would be a blockbuster

    I like this Cubs team, but part of me really wants them to lose, just so we can keep the tradition going.

    Being able to say "every team has a bad century" is really fun.

    Lackey for 2 years, 32 mil?

    He ended up Cardinals ace, now Cubs 3 or 4.

    I guess 32 mil not too bad. Shit, flippin J.A. Happ got 36 million.

    I still think Cubs will trade for either Shelby Miller, Carlos Carrasco or Tyson Ross.
